Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 11,1915.

Application filed February 6, 1913. Serial No. 746,467.

T0 all whom #may concern:

Be it lmown that I, SVEN Gr. BoLIN,

residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal Doors; and Ido declare the following to be a full, clear, and

exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures ofreference` marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates more particularly to a means for securing and hasfor its principal object to provide a spring clip whereby variousdesigns of beading and molding may be held, to present a pleasingappearance to the finished article.

In accomplishing this object I have provided the details of structurehereinafter described andillustrated in the accompanying drawings,wherein `Figure I is a perspective view of the lower portion of a metaldoor showing a molding in position around the lower panel. Fig. II is anenlarged detail perspective view of one corner of the door and panel.Fig. III is a sectional View through one of the stiles, showing themolding spaced from the clip, parts being broken away for betterillustration. Fig-IV is a similar view showing the molding in position.Fig. V is a detail perspective view of a portion of the spring clip.

Referring more in detail to the parts 2 the lower cross rail, 3 anintermediate cross rail and 4 the panel of a metal door of any ordinaryconstruc tion.

We1ded, or otherwise secured to the panel 4, adjacent the stiles andcross rails, is a spring clip 5 which comprises a flat portion 6 whichis secured to the panel, and a dspring portion 7 having an upturned edge8 adapted to face toward the center of the panel.

The molding may be of any suitable design but comprises a flat portion 9which is adapted to lie against the panel and has an upwardly curvedspring portion 10 adapted for projection clip 5 to lock the molding inplace.

to metal doors, and' beneath the spring In applying the molding to adoor, corner pieces 11 are formed by mitering a portion of the moldingand bending it to fit each of the corners .to be filled, and placing itso that the spring portion l0 is projected beneath fthe spring clip 5.Straight molding sections are applied in the same manner to fill thespaces between the corner sections. It is apparent that by this methodmetal doors may be made up in stock sizes and moldings or othertrimmings added to meet the requirements of different styles ofarchitecture.

I do not wish to limit myself to the particular position of the springclip, as it could be placed so as to face' the stiles and cross barswithout departing from the scope of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new vrtherein, anddesire to secure by Letters-Patent, is

l. In a metal door, an inset panel, an in* wardly facing spring clipfixed to and spaced from the edges of the panel. and a ing mitered andsquare ends and spring lips adapted for projection beneath the springlipsfseated for projection beneath the spring clips on the panel, andstraight members having square ends adapted for projection between andof the corner members. and having spring lips adapted for projectionbeneath the spring clips on the panel, whereby the corner members arelocked firmly in position.

2. In a metal door, stiles and cross rails, a panel set in from saidStiles and cross rails to form a shoulder. a fastening member fixed tosaid panel adjacent said shoulder and having a spring lip opening towardthe center of said panel. a molding comprising corner members havingmitered and square ends, and a spring lip adapted for projection beneaththe spring lip of the fastening member, and straight sections havingsquare ends adapted for abutment with the square ends of the cornersections and having spring lips adapted for projection beneath .saidfastening member to lock the corner' sections in position.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
